Custom FX Index

[p.lozanski]

Hi

I am trying to create some custom indices from historical forex price for backtesting. I created the historical data for my index in excel and then imported it into NT8. The problem I am having is my data is being rounded to 2 decimal places, where I would like to have 5 decimal places (my historical data has more than 5 decimal places). I've attached an image of how I have created the instrument. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Does the same occur if you create this symbol as a Forex instrument instead of a CFS instrument?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi Marco

Thanks for getting back. I've attached a screenshot of the error message I get if I create it as a Forex instrument.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

This may not be a supported currency paring. An internet search for the AUDIDX pair does not yield any meaningful results to look further into this.

Please follow the steps below to manually attach the data files you are trying to import in a zip folder to an email to platformsupport[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com with "2699746 ATTN Marco G" in the subject line and a link to this forum post in the message body so I may investigate this matter further.

Open your NinjaTrader folder under Documents.
Right click on the folder containing the files and select Send To> Compressed (zipped) Folder.
Send the compressed folder as an attachment to your email.
Once you have emailed these to us, you may delete these compressed folders.


Thanks in advance; I look forward to resolving this item for you.
